I was giving Mom the ol’ stink eye–she knows what happens when I don’t get some serious exercise–so we took off in the Sagemobile. I guess there’s NO WAY I can ride in the new car when we go play. Something about me and dirt. I really don’t know what she’s talking about…
There weren’t many at the dog park…it was pretty muddy from all the rain we’ve had. But I did meet a few fellow diehards.

Hi, there! I’d play chase with you, but I’ve got “ball-on-the-brain’ disease. Mom says I’m obsessed…whatever that means.
I’m ready, Mom. Pitch it to me!Again and again. Mom throws. I catch.
Even though it’s only about 45 F (7 C), I work up a sweat pretty quickly. And you know what that means. I NEED WATER!
Thank goodness for mud holes.
Mom, why are you saying “Oh, Sage“? And why is that woman laughing over there?
Way to go Sage!!! I’m lad you got your water MOL!

LOL – and why are we all laughing on this side of the computer? You are such a cutie. Nice catching there, too, by the way. Bella has no concept of “catch”. She could totally learn from you.

Sage is very wise. Humans pay fortunes for mud treatment and here he found it gratis. Way to go Sage! Paulette p.s. I helped rescued a dog last year that could be Sage’s bro. He had the whole town I live in pitching in to take care of his medical expenses and was duly named Mr. Ojai. π
